Immersive soundscapes of transporting vocals,
resonant instrumentation, and layered
sonic textures guide you to
deep calm, presence, insight and wonder.
Engaged practice with deep listening,
breath, the voice and toning
are accessible, profound tools
for healing, creativity and beauty.
These unique ceremonial sound experiences offer a distinct blend
of enrapturing melody, dynamic musicality, and healing resonance.
Transporting, gentle concerts help you deepen your meditation practice.
Sound and music connect us directly
to our inner world, our divine nature,
—our natural state of being that is
centered, expansive, dynamic and present.
Science has now proven the vast impacts of sound and music, and as well as showing that meditation practice produces not only elevated states of awareness, but elevated resilience, neuroplasticity, creativity, and increased gray-matter density—important for learning, memory, compassion and introspection (Harvard 8-week study). Studies also show that meditation with Himalayan singing bowls reduces stress, fatigue, anger, depression, as well as blood pressure and heart rate more than silent meditation alone, and particularly for new practitioners.
Indigenous cultures have long understood the power of sound as medicine through song, dance, ritual and trance experiences. Toning, chanting, and deep listening practices can rewire the brain, and rebalance body, mind, and emotions—as well as re-mapping the nervous system.
Through simple practices, we can discover how sound and listening can a literally transform space and experience —inner and outer— both physically, energetically, and psychologically.

Lokah is the first single release of the upcoming work Altar. Enter a sonic dreamscape— cosmic and intimate. A sonic journey weaving etherial singing, layered with world procession and shamanic influences.

adi shakti
Adi Shakti is the second single. Enter an eight minute musical journey of transcendent harmonies, percussion and sonic texture. My arrangement of this Sanskrit mantra parallels the path of primal divine feminine energy developing into being. Shakti's embodiments of strength, power, love, and protectiveness— emerge from the most primal aspects into more subtle, refined forms. Shakti’s vast expressiveness and cyclical evolution are expressed through the deliberate build and pacing, rhythmic development, and layered instrumentation. This mantra’s rendition was deeply influence by channelled medicine melodies, and plant medicine journeywork.
